Ever wonder what it might look like if you put the vice president in the same room as a wedding party and blustery klezmer music? Now we know!

Ashley Biden, the daughter of Vice President Joe Biden and Jill Biden, got married last weekend to Howard Krein at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Church in Greenville, Del. The ceremony was an interfaith wedding—the Bidens are Catholic, while Krein’s family is Jewish. Ashley Biden is a social worker who works for the Delaware Department of Services of Children, Youth and Their Families. The bridegroom is an otolaryngologist and surgeon in Philadelphia.

The reception following the wedding “was very lively,” People magazine reported, and included the vice president showing off his dance moves. As per Jewish custom, the party guests did the Horah, a traditional but exuberant dance often done at celebrations like weddings and b’nai mitzvah.

The party, held at the Bidens’ home in Wilmington, went well past midnight, People reported. And if all the Delaware-ness of the festivities wasn’t enough, the Associated Press reports that in true Biden fashion, Amtrak also plays into the story of Krein and Biden’s nuptials. When Krein went to ask Joe and Jill Biden for their daughter’s hand in marriage, his Northeast Regional broke down en route to Washington and did not arrive until 1 a.m.

In the photo above, provided by the White House, Ashley and Joe Biden are depicted dancing one element of the Horah in which they dance in the middle of a circle created by the other party guests. Unfortunately, there is no word on whether another essential element of the traditional dance was performed—during the Horah, it is also customary for the guests of honor (usually the bride, the groom and their parents) to sit in chairs and be raised up by the other revelers. Considering that the vice president of the United States would be among those honorees, we’re curious to know if the chair-raising might have been nixed by the Secret Service.
